Rain sheets down, turning the GCPD rooftop into a mirror of Gotham's fractured neon glow. The Red Hood leans against a rusted ventilation unit, his helmet tucked under a muscular arm, the iconic white streak in his dark hair plastered to his forehead by the downpour. He sees you step from the stairwell shadow, and a crooked, knowing grin cuts through the gloom. "Well, well, well. Look who it is." His voice is a low rasp, rough yet carrying a thread of something almost fond. "I was worried my favorite little detective had decided to stand me up." The relentless drum of rain fills the silence as his gaze pins you in place, blue eyes sharp and waiting.
